Installing Adaptive Server in GUI Mode

Use GUI mode to install Adaptive Server and related products for use.

Prerequisites
Shut down all programs before running the installer.
Task
  1. Insert the Adaptive Server installation media in the appropriate drive, or download and extract the Adaptive Server installation image from the Sybase Product Download Center (SPDC) or the SAP Service Marketplace (SMP).
  2. Mount the disk:
    mount -v "cdrfs" -r <device> /cdrom
  3. Launch the installer:
    /cdrom/setup.bin
  4. Select the language.
  5. On the Welcome screen, click Next.
  6. Accept the default directory or enter a new path, then click Next.
    If you see a Choose Update Installation pane, this means you have an earlier version of the server, and you need to perform an upgrade rather than a new installation. See Adaptive Server Upgrades.
  7. Choose the type of installation to be performed.
    • Typical
    • Full
    • Custom – if you choose this, you see the Products and Features Selection window. Select the products to install. The installer installs unselected items if your selections are dependent on them.
  8. Select the software license type for the Adaptive Server suite:
    • Install licensed copy of Adaptive Server Suite
    • Install Free Developer Edition of Adaptive Server Suite
    • Install Express Edition of Adaptive Server Suite
    • Evaluate Adaptive Server Suite which is valid for 30 days from the installation date
  9. Choose the most appropriate region, read the license terms, then click I agree. Click Next.
  10. (Licensed copy of Adaptive Server Suite only) Specify the license type:
    • Enter a license file. If it is a served license key, you are prompted to set up the license server.
    • Use an existing license server
    • Proceed without specifying license information for the duration of 30 days from the installation date.
  11. (Licensed copy of Adaptive Server Suite only) Specify product edition:
    • Enterprise Edition
    • Small Business Edition
    • Developer Edition
    • Unknown – select this if you are unsure about the license type.
      Note: Choosing Unknown prevents you from being able to select Optimize Adaptive Server, later in the installation process.
    Depending on the edition, you can also select the license type under which the product is licensed.
  12. (Licensed copy of Adaptive Server Suite only) To configure your server to send e-mail notifications about license management events that require attention, provide:
    • SMTP server host name
    • SMTP server port number
    • E-mail return address
    • Recipient e-mail addresses
    • Message severity that triggers e-mail messages
    In the summary window, click Next.
  13. Verify the installation type and that you have enough disk space for the installation. Click Next.
    The installation status window displays the result of the installation process.
